HB2410: artificial intelligence; privileged communications

Sponsor: Representative Kolodin, LD 3

Caucus and COW

Overview 

Allows a person's communication with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be considered privileged.  

History 

Privileged communication is defined as confidential exchanges in specific relationships to protect confidential information from forced disclosure in legal proceedings. Examples of these relationships with privileged communications are Attorney-Client, Doctor-Patient, Spousal Privilege and Clergy-Penitent (A.R.S. §§ 12-2234, 12-2238, 32-3283). 

AI means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems use machine and human-based inputs to: 

1)   perceive real and virtual environments; 

2)   abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and 

3)   use model inference to formulate options for information or action (15 U.S.C. 9401). 

Provisions 

1.   Allows a person's communication with AI to be considered privileged, as if the person had been seeking advice from a human professional. (Sec. 1)
